Frying small fish instead of roasting the big rats

The SOCU is also losing public confidence. It has recommended some of the most interesting charges ever made in the criminal courts of Guyana. Select board members of the Guyana Rice Development Board (GRDB) are facing multiple charges for failing to ensure an accounting entry into a register. In another case, charges were filed against members of the Board of the Guyana Bank for Trade and Industry (GBTI) despite the fact that the matter is engaging the High Court, which has given the bank more time to produce the documents demanded by the SOCU.

Seems to be the focused approach of the organisation.

The SOCU was established to fight organized crime. The public perception is that this involves going after the underworld, not those alleged to have committed while collar crimes. There is the State Asset Recovery Unit (SARU) which has a mandate to recover assets of the state which have been unlawfully appropriated. One would have thought that this investigation of state agencies would be better suited to SARU, rather than the SOCU.

Perhaps, SOCU and SARU will have another group ==> DARU.
